To glance back. We have an article of
great weakness advanced with great i'm
pudence. There is an assumption of
knowledge at spots that might deceive
the unwary, and, as it is of the kind that
is constantly advanced concerning differ
ent pedigrees, we thought it worth MOTTO
ing, in which, perhaps we have been mis-
taken. We now await the data from
which Mr.. Thompson derived his laws.
He either knows something about them
or he does not. If he does, he knows
something that no one else ever knew,
and if he does not, | think he will see the
propriety of quitting the field of theoriz-
ing, where he is decidedly off his base,
and confine himself to searching for facts,
where he has much talent.
TO thorough and scientific research
into the color of offspring and the laws
that seem to govern reproduction, there
might be some value; but when we con-
slider the intricacies that arise from the
many dams and grand-dams, and how
hidden and surprising are those laws of
nature from which existence springs, |
think we shall continue to prefer to make
our stud books by the old method of as
certaned facts.

LADY EMPRESS BY ABDALLAH.
COLD SPRING HARBoR, MAY 2, 1ss,

COLD SPRING HARBOR, May 2, 1886.
Editor Register Yours of the 10Th re-
ceived: and in answer will say enclosed
please find the stallion Pearsalls adver-
tisement for 1879, which will give the
pedigree of Lady Emma in full as they
were own brother and sister. Empress,
the dam of Lady Emma, was foaled Gin
lS4H the joint property of Israel Scudder
of Huntington, Suffolk Co., and my
father, the late David w. Jones of Oyster
Bay, Queens Co., Long Island, and when
about one year old my father purchased
Scudder's half interest and at three years
old sold her to Edward Pearsall of New
York. Suffolk Queen (the dam of En-
press) was afterwards owned by David
Bryant, the owner of Lady Suffolk and
driven in double team with her and said
to have been very evenly matched for
speed in that rig.
DIR. Bowers, the owner of Queen Nab
was resident of Smthtown, l.. l., and
Suffolk Queen was raised there, but by
whom do not now recOllect. If any OBJ
ject to you to know can without doubt
find out by little inquiry.
Abdallah, the sire of Empress, was the
noted and well known horse, the sire of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
think you are right as to the year
Lady Emma was foaled.
Yours very truly,
DAVID JONES.

Through the courtesy of a well-known

lately shown a sale catalogue of the horse
stock of K. S. Denney, which was dispos.

The increasing prosperity of the REGIsTERi Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend 1t snail

the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation It's
Horse Department is worth many times ts
subscription price - valuable, Instructive
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department.
The REGISTER should be taken by every
one who has particle OF interest in the horse
The price is but $3.50 per year. Tell your
neighbors. Spread the circulation. We want
the REGISTER to go upon every farm in the
country, from Maine TO California and there
are several il does not yet reach.

This study has become a passion among
medical men, who say it may greatly
help legal procedure, inasmuch as bl
sending criminals to sleep and dragging
their secret from them while under hyp|
motto influence there would be little feat
of Judges condemning the innocent fol
the guilty. A theft in the hospital wal
found out in this way by DIR. Marie, fol
many years DIR. Charcot's assistant. Thu
subject refused at first to tell where thu
stolen object was concealed. After lit
tie diplomacy however, on the part o.
the young doctor, who told the sleeping
girl he was the young man from whom
the card case had been taken and not ID
fear telling him where it was, she gave
the detailed account of having stolen it
and told where the card case was to bt
found. DR.. Marie Immediately went t
the spot indicated, where, sure enough
the stolen article was found.-Cable t

On the even skies Of wonder
Rose dark unwelcome cloud,
And the dying day went under
In its purple Swallowed shroud;
But the cloud rose higher, higher;
Blown across the paling blue;
Shadow now no more, but fire
Ruby flash and amber hue.
What If doubt be Gods devising
Like the shadow in the west,
If the cloud of doubt arising
Take more sunlight on its breast

A Patriotic Composer.

The great composer, Verdi, is also a
great patriot. In the dark days of thirty
and forty years ago there was no more
ardent champion of Italian liberty and
union than he. He was elected to parlia-
ment in 1861, and took deep interest in
all its operations. But it was a silent in
terest. He never could make speech,
though he often declared that he would
gladly give the copyright of his best opera
for the ability to do so.--Chicago Times.

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has
used Boschee's German Syrap to let its
wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses Will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to rec
ommend it to the poor, dying gconsumptive,
at least to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and no one case
where it failed was reported. Such a
medicine as the German Syrup cannot be
too widely known. Ask your druggist
aboutit. Sample bottles to try, sold at 10
cents. Regular size,75 cents. Sold by all
Druggists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.

Man Drowned.

Last Monday Superintendent Mckee, OF
the Rocky Mountain Telegraph company,
lost one of his men in the Sandy, n sire am
at the foot of the Bear Paw Mountains be-
tween the Coal Banks and Fort Assinni-
boine. Itappears that Mr.. Mckee and
the man, whose name we have not been
able to learn, were out endeavoring to put
the line in repair. They had swan the
Sandy on their horses, repeatedly, with
out trouble or accident. It appears that
the man had occasion to cross again, and
as usual fearlessly put his horse in the
stream. From some cause, unknown, the
horse this time went under and rolled over
taking the man with him. The horse
struggled TO the surface and swan to
shore. but the unfortunate man was never
seen again We heard of this accident
yesterday from Mr.. Ben r. Davenport
who came from Assinniboine, who told us
that he heard of it at the post. But after
wards we saw another gentleman who
said he thought it was mistake, as be had
heard it stated that the man had saved
himself. We have since learned, however,
that the man lost his life and his body was
not recovered, but that a reward Wils
offered for it. All that we can learn in
addition is that the man came from Leth-
bridge and had been in the employ of the
company for some time.
THERE is difference of opinion over in
Gallatin county between the probate
Judge and the board OF county commits
sioners. The former is collecting in fees
under the bounty law from ten to twenty
five dollars a day which he pockets for his
own nse and behoof. The commissioners
claim that as the probate judge is a sal
aried officer and the law requires that all
fees should be turned over to the treasurer,
that this fee money, belongs to the county
and not to the official. The question will
90 into the courts for II decision.
